A couple were told they faced a $200,000 (£146,500) medical bill when their baby was born prematurely in the US, despite them having travel insurance which covered her pregnancy.

Travel insurance is a scam. I used to pay Allianz for cancellation insurance every trip but the one time I needed to claim it they denied it.

It's not safe to travel to the US while pregnant or sick, they will take everything from you.

Traveling in 3rd trimester is already medically dangerous.

Everyone knows blood attracts sharks, now we have sharks on planes.

Thanks obama.

Until Trump they also claimed the baby as US citizen which is dangerous because they demand taxes from their citizens whereever they are on this world.

It's just not safe to travel there ever

I'm certainly not going back until at least 2029. Let MAGA eat itself over the Epstein files and the next president reform the gun laws (as both sides are now talking about it) and then I'll think about it.
